[Clean vocals throughout, no raw or rough vocals, no screams or yells] [Verse 1] Lost the job on a Friday night Lease ran out under a streetlight Cell phone dead, no one on the line Nothing left but pride to climb I walked past that open door Same old church I'd walked by before Never thought I'd need a place like that Stood there frozen, hand on my hat [Pre-Chorus 1 — full kit enters, bass locks in, building] Can a broken man still stand? Can somebody reach me a hand? [Chorus 1 — "Grace Found Me" — acoustic guitar and choir slam in together, gang vocals on the last line] Grace found me on the ground Louder than the noise, it drowned out every sound I didn't have to earn it, didn't have to prove Grace found me, I got nothing left to lose [Verse 2] A stranger passed a cup of coffee round Said "brother, I know how it feels to drown" Nobody asked me what I'd done Just handed me a seat, told me to come The band kicked up, the room got loud Something broke loose in this stubborn crowd Three years I hadn't cried a tear Now it's running free, right out here [Pre-Chorus 2 — driving guitar figure enters, choir stacking under] I came in broken, I came in bent Six months later, don't know where the anger went [Chorus 2 — "Stand And Sing" — different hook, story moves forward. Full band, choir doubled an octave up, progressive layering vs. Chorus 1] Watch me stand up, watch me sing Watch this beat-up heart take wing I'm not the man who stumbled in Six months back, near broken skin Watch me stand up, watch me sing This is what grace can bring [Bridge — choir re-entering line by line] There's a hundred roads like the one I walked A hundred people who never talked So I'm going back to where I stood To be the hand I wish I could Have felt on my coldest, hardest night Gonna carry someone to the light [Guitar/choir build — 4 bars, tempo pushes, key change up a whole step] [Chorus 3 — "Carry Somebody Home" — final chorus, biggest, distinct lyric, full band and choir at max] Now I'm the one who opens the door Now I'm the one who says there's more Grace didn't stop when it got to me It's a river, running wild and free I'm gonna carry somebody home Carry somebody home [Outro — gang vocals and choir trade the hook, guitars ring out, fade on a single sustained chord]
